Anyone who doesn’t know you (someone brand new to stamping?!?) would think you put a rose on patterned paper. Most of us totally know better : ) Wonderful stamping, and I absolutely love the modern vs. vintage, and graphic vs. feminine, contrasting you have created on your card. Happy to be celebrating Altenew’s birthday with you!!

LOVE this! What patience you have to create such a fantastic background. I particularly like your advice about inks. I have many colors from many different companies. I have always mixed and matched. Thanks Laura!

Gorgeous card as always!! I love how you explained about the inks. Sometimes I do feel like I need to buy from everyone and every single color they have. Of course I haven’t but boy there are those times you just have that urge that you need it all and you need it now! LOL!!! Thank you for putting it into perspective!!

Oh, Laura, I always enjoy your videos. Your sense of humor is the greatest! The card is lovely and I liked how you combined a graphic background with the gorgeous flower. I look forward to your next video. 🙂

Hello Laura! I loved your Clean & Simple boutique class and of course LOVE Altenew products!! Your geometric card is amazing due to the playful use (and design) of the geometrics and the loveliness of the peony. I believe it was through Altenew that I have become a fan of yours too.

What a beautiful and cheery card design. It would work for many occasions and that is the type of card I like. Just a switch of sentiments and you are good to go. Love how you colored it and that great background is perfect with it.

I was so happy when I saw you were on this blog hop and I wasn’t disappointed. Your card is gorgeous and the colors are beautiful. Isn’t it amazing what Altenew has accomplished in just two years? Great company! 🙂

Your videos are so entertaining. Love the triangle background and the Altenew stamp set. I just received my first layering stamp set, and I’m struggling to figure out how to line up the layers properly. I never thought I needed a Misti, but your video is making me think I need one after all!

Man Laura, you just said something that resonated with me….yeah, the light bulb finally lit up, which was to buy the colors you like and not to worry about getting the whole darn set! Guess I’m a wee bit slow LOL. Anyway, I always love your cards Laura and this was is no exception….just gorgeous! TFS

Wow, Laura! Just as gorgeous as ever! it’s really very dangerous for me to visit your blog because you always make me want the products you use! 🙂 Really though, you’re very talented and such a joyous woman. God bless you.

I love how you used the distinct lines of the triangles and softness created by the flower. I never thought of doing that but it looks great and the card is so colorful. Altenew stamps are so versatile and fun to play with to create outstanding images.

Love the graphic background combined with the lovely, old fashioned bloom. Also thanks for the great video. I always love watching them as you give so many wonderful tips and make the videos really interesting.

So glad you talked about your “mixed” palette of inks from various companies. I taught a class on Saturday using Hero Arts layering orchid set and didn’t get my HA ink pad shipment in time so I had to punt with what I had in my studio and it worked out great for the students but not something store owners are fond of me doing….!! Oh well…loved this design, Laura. Gave me a great idea for a class.
